W A R N I N G! Not how boba is actually made! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This animation shows how boba pearls are made. It doesn't show the process of making the actual milk tea, though. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The Actual Process~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1. Cassava roots are peeled and washed. 2. The wet, peeled cassava roots are squished to extract the starchy liquid. 3. The starchy liquid is evaporated. It will leave behind what is known as tapioca starch. 4. The starch is combined with water to make the dough for the pearls. 5. The dough is rolled into tiny balls. 6. The pearls are boiled for 30-60 minutes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Enjoy with some milk tea or other beverage!
